We had our first placement - Baby C for 20 days. She's gone back to stay with the couple who have been caring for her since she was three weeks old. Her mom has supervised visits. We miss her for sure but are glad she has people who already know and love her who can care for her and keep her safe.
Baby C the afternoon she left us. What a joy!
We had one night with no kiddos.
Then got a call at 4:45 Saturday morning (Oct. 5) asking if we would take 2 boys. They thought the ages were 1 and 4 (turned out to be 9 months and 3 but we didn't know that until they left).
They were in a car - not in seat belts and the driver - turns out to be the father of the oldest one - had been pulled over for a DUI. We picked up the kids from where he'd been pulled over around 5:30am. We had those boys - J and Big B - until Monday afternoon at 5pm. Turns out mom had been pulled over early in the evening for DUI and called this guy from jail to go get the kids from daycare. He had them all night partying evidently and then was stopped. Since they weren't in the car with her when she was stopped she got them back. I am glad they are back home and mom seems to be scared away from making stupid choices!
Two is definitely harder than twice as hard! Busy busy!
We are still open and could get a call at anytime. The waiting and the coming and going is exhausting!
